Flynne,

 

Aren't they closed by default until you manually open them or allow a

program access to the internet?

Seconfig XP is able configure Windows not to use TCP/IP as transport

protocol for NetBIOS, SMB and RPC, thus leaving TCP/UDP ports 135, 137-139

and 445 (the most exploited Windows networking weak point) closed.
